卷三·第一百八十五章（一）　商人本命第八宫：死亡；第二十九、三十年推运

Judgment upon the eighth house.

第八宫的判断。

Of Death its quality.

论死亡的性质。

WEE have onely one testimony of a violent Death, viz. the ☽ with Oculus Taurus; but because she is not angular, or impedited by the malevolent aspect of either the infortunes or the Lord of the eight, or by any aspect of any Planet posited in the eight; that feare is absolutely taken away, and the rather, because both ♀ and ♃ are essentially strong and Lords of the geniture; so that a naturall death is portended unto the Native, in as much as concernes his private Genesis, and which shall be confirmed by truth it selfe (yet must he cautelously beware of publique Calamities, for no private fate resisteth the Publique.

我们只有一个横死的见证，即月亮与金牛之眼同在；但因为她不在角宫，也没有被凶星或第八宫主的凶相位所阻害，也没有被落在第八宫的任何行星的任何相位所阻害；这种担心就完全消除了，尤其因为金星与木星都有必然尊贵的力量，又是本命之主；所以就他私人的本命而言，预示本命者会自然死亡，这将由真理本身来证实（不过他必须谨慎提防公共的灾祸，因为没有一个私人的命运抵挡得住公共的命运。

The cuspe of the eighth house is governed by ☉, who by Ptolomey and the Nation of the learned, is ever excluded from being Anareta. We have ♀ and ☿ posited in the eighth, but ☿ being Lord of ♍ the Signe intercepted and also of the sixt, he cannot be excluded from having dominion in the manner of Death, and may also properly be called Interfector or Anareta in our Scheame; although in regard of his impotency and indisposition in Signe, ♀ seemes to regulate his malice; now for as much as ☿ doth naturally signifie Consumptions or decay of Nature, the Spleen, Spittle, Melancholly, &c. and for that ♎ is the exaltation of ♄, wherein ☿ is placed;

第八宫头由太阳掌管，托勒密与众多学者一向把太阳排除在杀星之外。金星与水星落在第八宫，但水星是被截星座处女之主，又是第六宫之主，不能被排除在主管死亡方式之外，在我们的盘中也可以恰当地称为杀手或杀星；虽然就他的无力与在星座中的不利处境而言，金星似乎节制了他的恶意；既然水星天然主消耗病即本性的衰败、脾、唾液、忧郁等等，又因为水星所在的天秤是土星的旺宫；

I judge that the Native shall dye in his old age, not oppressed with one or other epidemicall or long continued Disease, but meerly by a sensible privation of Nature,having perhaps its originall from some dry cough, or the like, &c. or for want of sufficient radicall moysture to comfort the heart, for ☿ in ♎ signifies the heart, whom ☉ naturally doth more exsiccate by his proximity unto him; and therefore questionlesse the manner or quality of the Natives Death will be, as by Art prescribed, viz. either by some horce dry cough, or decay of naturall strength at the heart.

我判断本命者会死于老年，不是被某种流行病或久病压倒，而只是本性可感地衰竭，或许起源于某种干咳之类，等等，或因缺乏足够的根本湿气来滋养心脏，因为水星在天秤主心脏，太阳因靠近他，天然使他更加干燥；所以毫无疑问，本命者死亡的方式或性质，会如本术所定，即或由某种嘶哑的干咳，或由心脏的自然力衰退。

[If you would have the very day of the month when the Significator & Promittor do meet, you may see it's easily performed; the ascen. came to the Antiscion of ♃ when the Native was one yeer 153 days old, and 14 hours, add one yeer to the yeer of birth, viz. 1616. and seek 153 dayes in the Table of dayes, page 722. under February you find 153. over against 153. on the first side, you find 18. so then I say, that the 18. day of February 1617. the ascendant came to the Antiscion of ♃ doe so in the rest.]

［若你想求出征象星与允诺星相遇的确切月日，你会看到这很容易做到；上升到木星的映点时，本命者一岁一百五十三天又十四小时，把一年加到出生之年即一六一六年上，在第七百二十二页的积日表里找一百五十三天，在二月栏下你找到一百五十三，对着一百五十三，在第一栏你找到十八，于是我说，一六一七年二月十八日，上升到了木星的映点；其余的也照此做。］

[Here you add 360. to the oblique ascention of the Promittor, that so substraction may be made.]

［这里你把允诺星的斜升加上三百六十，好让减法做得成。］

[Some direct the ⊗ converse, or against the succession of Signs, you do no more thē but subduct the Promittor frō the Significator, and so go backward.]

［有人把福点逆推，即逆着星座次序推，你不过是从征象星中减去允诺星，就这样往回推。］

Directions of the Hylegiacall and other Planets to their Promittors for the Natives 29. yeer of age, beginning 18. Sept. 1644. ending Sept. 1645.

海勒格诸位及其他行星推到其允诺星，本命者第二十九岁，始于一六四四年九月十八日，终于一六四五年九月。

Judgment upon Directions.

推运的判断。

The most significant directions for this yeer are ⊗ ad Antisc. ☽: Now because ☽ in the radix is Lady of the seventh and posited in the fifth, moderately strong; this direction may denote (to one in a way of Commerce) much converse and dealing with vulgar people of Lunar condition, and some profit by Saylors, Widdowes, Gentlewomen, or the like; it may shew many contracts or bargaines with such like people, and also profit by dealing in forraigne parts with such Commodities as are of the nature of Luna.

今年最有意义的推运是福点推到月亮的映点：因为月亮在根盘里是第七宫之主，落在第五宫，中等强；这条推运可能表示（对经商的人而言）与月亮性质的平民多有往来交易，从水手、寡妇、有身份的妇人之类得些利益；可能表示与这类人订许多契约或买卖，也表示在外国经营月亮性质的货物而得利。

It may shew also, by reason the ☽ was in the fift in radice, that the Native may have much converse with Messengers, Factors, forraigne Agents (Embassadours, if capable) and may shew good encrease of Substance by such men, and their meanes, &c.

也可能表示，由于月亮在根盘里在第五宫，本命者会与信使、代理商、外国代理人（若他有这个分量，还有使节）多有往来，并显示借这些人及其门路，家产大有增益，等等。

The next Hylegiacall place in order is ☽ ad ☍ ♃ without latitude; the direction is in the sixt and twelfth house, ♃ being Promittor, denotes the quality of the accident to happen, and he was Lord of the eleventh, twelfth and had dominion in the second in the Radix, the event must either be from such things as are signified by ♃ in radice, as Lord of those houses, or else as he hath a generall signification naturally. Being essentially strong, we take the former and leave the latter judgement; yet it will doe well to thinke of both.

按次序下一个海勒格之位是月亮推到木星的对冲，不计黄纬；这条推运落在第六宫与第十二宫，木星作为允诺星，表示所要发生之事的性质，他在根盘里是第十一宫、第十二宫之主，又在第二宫有主权，事件必定或出于木星在根盘中作为这些宫之主所表示的事，或出于他天然具有的普遍意义。他在必然尊贵上强，我们取前一种判断而舍后一种；不过两者都想一想也好。

[See pag. 693 what naturally ☽ ad ☍ ♃ signifies.] The Direction falling in the sixt, threatens a slight joviall disease by drinking or surfet, or distempering the body; the reason is, ☽ was in the fifth viz. house (of good fellowship:) now ☽ being significatrix in an aëry sign and ♃ in a fiery, may well denote the blood heated; for ♊ is hot and moyst, and ♐ hot and dry; ergo, two significations of blood heated. ♃ was friend in Radice, ergo, the disease will rather be feared then reall.

［月亮推到木星对冲天然主什么，见第六百九十三页。］这条推运落在第六宫，以一场轻微的木星之病相胁，起于饮酒或暴食，或身体失调；理由是月亮在第五宫，即（欢聚之）宫：而月亮作为征象星在风象星座，木星在火象星座，很可能表示血热；因为双子热而湿，射手热而干；所以有血热的两重意义。木星在根盘里是友星，所以这病与其说真有，不如说是怕有。

Observe by the transit when ♃ comes to the place of the ☽ or two and twentieth of ♊, and be carefull those times, and clense the blood by a gentle purge a weeke before the Significator and Promittor meet, or the Transit be.

借过运观察木星何时来到月亮的位置，即双子二十二度，在那些时候要小心，在征象星与允诺星相遇或过运发生前一周，用温和的泻药清血。

It imports some griefe shall afflict the Native by reason of some unkindnesse he shall perceive from some of his familiar acquaintance: and because ♃ is Lord of the twelfth and posited there, its not safe to visit any imprisoned friends, lest he himselfe come to have some restraint of liberty by information of a Lunar man. Men represented by ♃ are probably like to be much prejudiciall to the Native this yeer, viz. Gentlemen, Clergy, Lawyers, but Gentlemen especially.

它表示本命者会因察觉某些熟人对他的某种不厚道而伤心：又因为木星是第十二宫主又落在那里，去探望被囚的朋友并不安全，免得他自己因一个月亮型的人的告发而受到某种自由的拘束。木星所代表的人，今年很可能对本命者大为不利，即士绅、教士、律师，但尤其是士绅。

It forewarns the Native to be carefull of his money, lest Gentlemen get more in an houre then they pay in a yeer; Is not ♃ Lord of the second? Untill the direction is over, its not good to be late in Tavernes, &c.

它预先警告本命者要当心自己的钱，免得士绅们一小时里得到的比他们一年里付出的还多；木星不是第二宫之主吗？在这条推运过去之前，夜里在酒馆久留等等是不好的。

The ill intended must come from the eleventh house, twelfth or second, Ergo, the Ascendant comes also towards August to the Contrantiscion of the ☽ with latitude, which argues some difficulty in the Natives affaires, and much adoe to keepe himselfe free from some that would have imployment from him, or with him, or would have him adventure to some Countrey or other: and it doth intimate some aspersion or scandall by meanes of an ill condicioned Woman; and some consumption of Substance by more then one.

所图的恶事必定来自第十一宫、第十二宫或第二宫，所以，上升在八月前后也来到计黄纬的月亮的反映点，这主本命者的事务有些困难，要费很大力气才能摆脱一些想从他那里、或与他一起谋差事的人，或想让他到某个国家去冒险的人：它也暗示因一个品性不良的女人而有些诋毁或丑闻；以及不止一人使家产有所消耗。

And this is further confirmed by ♂ his Contrantiscion of ♀ about March next, at what time ☽ comes to ☍ of ♃: and indeed that may also denote some prejudice by vulgar Women, &c. Here's no promising aspect of any preferment this yeer, for ♂ comes to an ill direction of the ☉, who was so weak in the Radix he can performe nothing upon the matter to doe good in point of preferment: this Contrantiscion of ♂ to ☉, ♂ being Lord of the third and tenth, and ☉ of the eighth, may denote some prejudice in matter of Inheritance or Patrimony,&c. by means of Kindred or Souldiers.

火星大约明年三月来到金星的反映点，进一步证实了这一点，那时月亮正来到木星的对冲：这确实也可能表示因平民妇女而受些损害，等等。今年没有任何许以擢升的相位，因为火星来到太阳的一个凶推运，而太阳在根盘里那么弱，在擢升这件事上做不出什么好事：火星对太阳的这个反映点，火星是第三宫与第十宫之主，太阳是第八宫之主，可能表示在继承或祖产上，因亲族或军人而受些损害等等。

The comming of ☿ to his owne termes and ♃ to a Sesquiquintill, of ☿, doe argue the Native to delight in Bookes, reading, and to be grave, austere and religiously inclined. I had forgot the sesquiquintill of ♃ to ♄ with fals in the Signe ascending, viz. ♑: this is a good aspect, and shew the Native to be according to the two last Directions, more grave, and solitary, and inclinable to study then formerly; and it doth also seeme to take off much of the malice of former Directions, in regard ♃ was friend in the Radix, and ♄ Lord of the ascendant.

水星来到自己的界，木星来到水星的十分之三，表示本命者喜好书籍、阅读，庄重、严肃而倾向宗教。我忘了木星对土星的十分之三，它落在上升星座，即摩羯：这是个好相位，显示本命者按最后两条推运，比以前更庄重、更好独处、更倾向于研读；它似乎也消去了先前诸推运的许多恶意，因为木星在根盘里是友星，土星是上升主星。

There remaines but two more Directions, ♂ ad term. ♂; & ad ⚼ ♄; they happen in ♍, in which sign ⊗ was radically in, and whose Loid was extreamly impedited; its a confirmation of an endeavour to be used to annihilate some legacy or portion ofLand which might accrew to our Native by the decealed, or of Moneys due to him; such a thing might or may be intended.

只剩下两条推运，火星推到火星之界，以及推到土星的倍半四分；它们发生在处女，福点在根盘里就在那个星座，而那个星座之主受到极大的阻害；这证实有人会设法抹掉某份遗赠，或死者本可能归于本命者的一份田产，或欠他的钱；这样的事可能有人有意，或已在谋划。

Judgment upon the Revolution or Returne of the ☉ to his place in the Radix.

对回归，即太阳回到根盘位置之盘的判断。

Ascendant of the Figure without equation, ♏ 7. 24.

这张盘的上升，未加均差，为天蝎七度二十四分。

And yet because ♃ in the Revolution is in the place of the ☽ and in the eight House, it seems the Native may rather feare then have prejudice that way, although ♂ be also in the eight. The ascendant of the revolution is ♏, his Lord ♂; both ♀ and ☽ applying to his □ (Caveat a Mulieribus) hoc anno. The position of ♄ Lord of the ascendant in the radix, now in the sixt, may produce the head-ach and some Melancholly fancies; the rather because ☉ is hastening to ☍ of him.

然而因为木星在回归盘中落在月亮的位置，又在第八宫，看来本命者在那方面与其说受害，不如说是怕受害，尽管火星也在第八宫。回归的上升是天蝎，其主是火星；金星与月亮都入相他的四分（今年要提防女人）。根盘的上升主星土星现在落在第六宫，可能引起头痛和一些忧郁的幻想；尤其因为太阳正急急去对冲他。

But forasmuch as no Planet afflicts the ascendant, and that all are above the earth ♄ excepted, ♀ and ☽ in ☌, and ☊ in the radicall place of ☋ and ⊗, and ☽ Lady of ⊗ now is with ♀; many of those accidents which were weakly signified by the directions, shall have little or no influence, but as it were consume to nothing, or end in feare, without any execution.

但既然没有行星侵害上升，除土星外诸星都在地平之上，金星与月亮会合，龙头在根盘龙尾与福点的位置，福点之主月亮现在与金星同在；推运所微弱表示的许多事故，影响会很小或没有，仿佛化为乌有，或止于惊怕，不会真的发生。

The Profectionall figure judged, the Ascendant being 6. 37. ♉.

小限盘的判断，上升在金牛六度三十七分。

♀ is divisor of part of this yeer, viz. from 18. Septem. 1644. to 29. June following, ☿ of the rest; ♀ she was potentially dignified at birth, and therefore she promiseth this Native health and what she materially signified at the birth; ♃ is also Lord of the tenth, and now in ♈ where he hath a triplicity, and this doth lessen some infelicity that in the revolution was threatned to the kindred of the Native; for as much as ♉ was the place of ♄ in the radix, and now ascends, it may also import some parcell of Land or acquisition of some modicum by the decease of a Kinsman.

金星分管今年的一部分，即从一六四四年九月十八日到次年六月二十九日，水星分管其余；金星在出生时有很强的尊贵，所以许本命者以健康以及她在出生时实际所表示的东西；木星也是第十宫之主，现在在白羊，在那里有三方尊贵，这减轻了回归盘对本命者亲族所威胁的一些不幸；既然金牛是根盘里土星的位置，现在升起，这也可能意味着因某位亲属去世而得到一小块地，或得到一点东西。

The returne of ♂ to the cuspe of the ascendant of the eleventh of the Radix, and neer Cor Scorpii, may denoat sudden death to one of this Natives friends by sword or fire. Its alway observed that ☽ in ♎ either in Revolution or Profection, causeth some disaster by surfet or ill dyet; of which this Native must beware.

火星回到根盘第十一宫的宫头，靠近天蝎之心，可能表示本命者某位朋友突然死于刀剑或火。常常观察到，月亮在天秤，不论在回归盘还是小限盘里，都会因暴食或饮食不当造成某种灾祸；本命者对此必须当心。

Evill dayes in the Profectionall Figure.

小限盘中的凶日。

Evill dayes by the Revolution are easily observed, by the transit of the Malevolents, upon the cusps of the ascendant or mid-heaven, or the radicall places of the Fortunes, or ☉ or ☽, or ⊗, &c.

回归中的凶日，很容易从凶星的过运看出来，即凶星经过上升或中天的宫头，或经过根盘中吉星、太阳、月亮、福点等等的位置。

The Hylegiacall Directions, and other Planets to themselves, for the thirtieth yeer currant of the Native, beginning Sept. 1645. ending Septemb. 1646.

海勒格诸位推运，及其他行星推到自身之位，为本命者正在走的第三十年，始于一六四五年九月，终于一六四六年九月。

These Directions doe not afford any significant actions, onely ♀ to the ⧖ of ♂ denotes familiarity with some Gentlewoman, and with some youg Souldier; the ∠ of ☿ to ☉ portends some difference with a Solar man about Accompts, or brings intelligence from some Friends, concerning the Goods of some lately deceased; and it may be hoped ♃ to his owne ⊻ in ♑, may confirme the newes to be true, but not so beneficiall, as was expected, because ♃ is in ♑ his Fall: ☉ to the Termes of ☿ induceth the Native to be studious, and to peruse his Books of Accompts, and to call in some Moneys owing, which may happily be returned, because ☿ is immediately comesto a ⊻ of ♃ in ♏, and in the tenth house; the aspect may produce some preferment to the Native, or acquaintance with some Joviall person, or Merchant of quality, from whom afterwards much good may be expected;

这些推运没有什么重大的作为，只有金星推到火星的十分之三，表示与某位有身份的妇人、与某个年轻军人亲近；水星对太阳的半四分预示与一个太阳型的人在账目上有分歧，或从一些朋友那里带来关于某位新近去世之人遗物的消息；可以希望木星推到自己在摩羯的半六分，会证实这消息是真的，但不如所期望的那样有利，因为木星在摩羯是他的落：太阳推到水星之界，引本命者勤于读书，查阅他的账簿，催收一些欠款，这些钱有幸可以收回，因为水星紧接着就来到木星在天蝎的半六分，在第十宫；这个相位可能给本命者带来某种擢升，或与某个木星型的人、或某位有身份的商人相识，日后可望从他那里得到许多好处；

It seems the Native continues his proper intentions, though somewhat to his own hinderance, as the ☉ to his proper ∠ doth signifie, and ⊗ to the Termes of ♂, which designeth caution to the Native concerning Brothers and Kinred, viz. not to depart with much money to them, &c. However, the ☉ about August 1646. comes to the ∠ of ♀ and ⊻ of ♃, which may give a good ending to a doubtfull and ambiguous yeer, by industry of the Native and some Joviall friends, which he happily then shall light on, or come acquainted with.

看来本命者坚持自己的打算，虽然对自己有些不利，如太阳推到自己的半四分所示；福点推到火星之界，告诫本命者在兄弟与亲族的事上要小心，即不要拿很多钱给他们，等等。不过，太阳大约在一六四六年八月来到金星的半四分与木星的半六分，这可能使一个可疑而含糊的年份有个好的结局，靠本命者的勤勉和他到时有幸遇到或结识的一些木星型的朋友。

Revolution, whose ascendant without equation is 16. 59. ♑.

回归，其上升未加均差为摩羯十六度五十九分。

Which properly intimates some Travell into forreign parts, by reason the ☉ is in the ninth, and ☽ in the ascendant, ♄ is returned to the Signe he was in at the Radix, as if a new the Native should againe set himselfe out into the world, or beginning againe to look after the affaires of this world, and some Inheritance or Legacy bequeathed unto him by the Deceased: the existence of ♂ and ♀ in the tenth, seem to question the reputation of the Native, and to cast some scandalous aspersions upon him for matters formerly done; but the potency of ♀ seems to give our Native the better, and the rather, because ☽ Lady of the seventh is disposed by ♄, and ♄ by ☽, doubtlesse some small difference may arise this yeer, but of no long continuance, because both ♂ ♀ ☽ and ♃ are in Signes movable; ☋ in the ascendant confirmes the above mistrusted jealousie of scandall or aspersion, and it should be about some Moneys, because ☋ is in ♒, the Signe of the second in Radice.

这恰恰表示到外国远行，因为太阳在第九宫，月亮在上升，土星回到他在根盘时所在的星座，仿佛本命者要重新出去闯世界，或重新开始照料这个世界的事务，以及死者遗赠给他的某份产业或遗产：火星与金星在第十宫，似乎使本命者的名声受到质疑，就他以前做过的事给他加上一些诽谤的污蔑；但金星的力量似乎使我们的本命者占上风，尤其因为第七宫之主月亮受土星支配，土星受月亮支配，无疑今年会起一些小分歧，但不会持续很久，因为火星、金星、月亮与木星都在变动星座；龙尾在上升，证实上面所疑的诽谤或污蔑之虑，而且应是关于钱的事，因为龙尾在水瓶，即根盘第二宫的星座。

Profectionall Figure, whose ascendant is 6. 37. ♊.

小限盘，其上升为双子六度三十七分。

Either these things really, or some like them, may happen; but both ♄ ♀ and ♂ in their Exaltations in the Profectional figure; do give the Native assured hopes of evading both some scandalous clamours, & what other matters may be casually objected unto him; so that upon pensitating both the Directions, Revolutions and Profections, the yeer in probability may be much feared, and yet little will be effected, here being no strong Directions to agitate any grand accident, unlesse ♄ to his owne place in the Radix, cause a small parcell of Land to drop downe to our Native, &c.

这些事或者真的发生，或者发生类似的事；但土星、金星与火星在小限盘里都在自己的旺宫，给本命者确实的希望，可以躲过一些诽谤的喧嚷，以及别人可能偶然加给他的其他事情；所以，权衡推运、回归与小限，这一年多半令人担心，却成事不多，这里没有有力的推运来激起什么重大事故，除非土星回到他在根盘中自己的位置，使一小块地落到本命者手里，等等。
